Tilman: Mom!! I'm going to the Copa! Mom: OK! But bring your brother with you! Tilman: MOOOOoomm

[@stanleygohome4869]

hahaha

[@Andrew-bd8dc]

We should line up with GK: Turner LB: A. Robinson RB: Weah CB: Richards CB: Ream M: McKennie M: Adams M: Reyna F: Pulisic F: Wright ST: Balogun

[@r2dad282]

Any team that counters is going to pick on Ream. So as long as we don't mind giving up counterattack goals, or we are sitting in a low block, Ream will suffice. Is GB ready to pull the captain in the 30th minute because he's getting smoked? Doubtful.

[@davidday2373]

Robinson ---> NE Revolution Weah ---> DC United Richards ---> Houston Dynamos Ream ---> St Louis City McKennie ---> Atlanta United Adams ---> NY Red Bulls Reyna ---> NYCFC Pulisic ---> Chicago Fire Wright ---> LAFC Balogun ---> NYCFC

Paredes isnt a snub

[@chinafriends]

Tyler Adams is without question is one of our best players and leader but how realistic is it to expect him to play significant minutes in a major tournament when the guy hasn't played 45+ mins back to back in 15 months. I was fine with a minutes restriction/planned substitutions for the Nations League because there was only two games, but for the summer with the potential for 6-7 games, I want every player hands on deck. At the very least bring in Maloney

[@luckymark571]

We have two DM's Adams and Johnny and if you really need it put Mckennie at DM, Maloney is having a great season but we really don't need another DM currently

[@starwarssatan5588]

Tac, it’s awesome that you got VIP treatment with Plameiras. It would be cool to do a whole show based your trip and what you learned, tactics, compare and contrast with MLS teams, etc. it is also a way promote Palmeiras. I am sure they pay attention.

[@luckymark571]

The RB spot after Dest got injured is really bad, Scally is really mediocre and Lund plays in Serie B we are probably going to get cooked from that side

[@ZeroFamilon]

Weah or Weston should start there. Put Weah at RB and start Haji on the wing w pulisic.

Gregg halter is improving after game after game. The United States has a great roster. The United States should put a lot of chips on their shoulder to beat any team right now and they are capable of beating Germany, Argentina,Italy and any strong team now, cause the game has changed now, All the countries that we used to hear about are no more active like that.

[@johnallen3483]

I thought Paredes was best player not called. He's Olympics bound, so no problem. The lesson with Trusty, is being on a history-making bad team makes you invisible.

[@kaijusportsclub5440]

Can we get a video on the potential moves of Thiago Motta to Juventus and DeZerbi to Milan? Both teams will be much more entertaining.

[@davidgodoy826]

If they play with a underdog mentality they will go far like semifinals or finals, they have the talent and speed and youth 🇺🇸

[@loganmapes2307]

I personally think Zimmerman would be a great pick for the Olympics. He’s not A team level, but he’s decent, he brings experience and leadership to a position we are thin at in the u-23 level. Trusty should have been here over Moore we have plenty of options at RB to not need a second “pure” RB. Same will Tim Tillman, should have been a more defensive guy like Maloney because we don’t know about TA’s health. I don’t really care about Sean Johnson, yeah I’d bring Gaga. Also curious to see that one of Sargent/pepi isnt going to the Olympics. Guess the rosters being expanded to 26 allows both to go to copa.

[@TMAC803210]

Sounds like Zimmerman and Trusty will be the CB pairing at the Olympics. I like that pairing a lot for a U23 tourney

[@Zthe]

I agree

[@Heffle2012]

I know a lot of people will Not like me for saying this but I think ream should be done on national team after this, absolutely love the dude and he has given so much more then I thought he could. But personally I wouldn’t have even invited him to this roster. Shaq more should never have been on this roster.

[@CoachSeanUT]

Heck... Paredes, Maloney, Trusty, even Busio, Paxten Aaronson, Roksas Pukstas would have deserved it over Moore...

[@juangyon102]

I would've brought kochen as the 3rd keeper to get the experience. I pray shaq Moore plays the friendlies and get burn but most likely scally will play and not be good and then Moore will get burned in CA. Would've brought Zendejas over Aaronson and have the brothers play in the Olympics.

[@ricopo3522]

It's a crime the best 1 v 1 defender in the USMNT pool isn't a permanent / lock starter with his club. How do they not know? 😜

[@ZeroFamilon]

Hey, it's not his fault that he can't break into a high quality team like Nashville. They got so much talent, Messi would struggle to break into their squad.

[@brianbunker2150]

GGG will start Haji on the left wing Christian on the right and Weah as the RB.

[@Elchinguirito802]

Honestly i would take Zimmerman over Mckenzie or Miles, but if he isn't fit that's fine he would be a good pick for the Olympics

[@asburyfox]

I always thought Trusty was better than McKenzie and never understood why McKenzie has been rated higher than Trusty these last 2 years by GB.

[@georgequarles9115]

What MLS players belong on the team instead of the ones picked? Having,, at least a few, domestic league players on the USMNT is good for the sport in the US.

What has Shaq Moore and Timmy Tillman done to justify ANY call-up... much more so, a call-up to a major tournament? Do our contributors really lack vibes so much that we need these hacks? Did we get to the last couple roster spots, and then draw names out of a hat?

why not bring trusty instead of moore. I get that he was on a bad team but any team that can get promoted to the premier league is 10x better than any mls side.

[@stephencoons7879]

Maloney is a big miss. With Adams questionable availability, we need more coverage at the six. I suspect Paredes was not picked due to the Olympics. However, if Lund is out then it may be time to reconsider that. Moore and T Tillman are pointless picks

[@kevbk6222]

Trusty is not good and shouldn’t be near the national team at this point. Mediocre MLS CB, turned decent CB for a bad Championship team, turned bad CB for a truly awful Premier league team. The guy hasn’t done anything to deserve the level of hype certain fans give him, outside of signing a contract with a club from England.

[@TMAC803210]

Yeah people overrate just because he’s left footed and plays in England (but he doesn’t play well!!!) Realistically I don’t think he’s one of our top 6 CBs currently

[@therondanielson9962]

Weah should start at RB for us, and Pulisic and Haji should be our wingers

Weah or Weston should start at RB. Both have played there for juve. And it allows us to get as many of our best players on the pitch as possible.

Moore was voted "Worse Player" at the World Cup 2022. No joke.

[@TheLaughingMustache-oh5ff]

Getting a result in Colombia and Brazil before Copa means literally nothing. We're just looking to build cohesion with a bunch of guys. The first 45 is usually about the only part of each match that means anything as subs pretty much always change the dynamic. So "winning" friendlies mean nothing.

[@flyingpig9406]

you would replace Shaq with a traffic cone? Really tac, Berhalter is not call you up🤣

[@Turtlefast235]

At 23:30 you said "Even if you play Colombia, you're at home."...mmmm NO! You have to admit that the USA doesn't have the rabid fan base of many Latin American countries, and when playing in the east coast, against the likes of Brasil, Argentina or Colombia, the US fans will be outnumbered by passionate REAL football fans, not lukewarm, "what time are the NBA playoffs starting" kind of supporters. Last time the US played Colombia in the east coast, in Tampa Oct 2018, the stadium was a sea of yellow. So no, the USA will not enjoy the advantage that a real soccer country enjoys when playing at home.

[@SuperRavensfan101]

Maloney and Trusty being Clear Snubs. I wish we also got to see someone here like a Marlon Fossey as a like for like replacement for Dest, I say this because for Standard Liege (same league as McKenzie and Reynolds) he's been playing as RWB/RM for the majority of the season and has looked really dynamic and competent. Shame Fed and berhalter sees shaq moore of all players as ok for this roster somehow.

[@TMAC803210]

Yeah agreed I wish Fossey could see some time too, but when compared to what he brings I am betting the staff sees Weah, Mckennie, and maybe even Musah as being able to provide the same as help on the right as a RWB/RM.

[@SuperRavensfan101]

@@TMAC803210 Agreed, I was merely suggesting if you're looking for a guy thats stylistically similar to how you would use Dest at RB/RWB Fossey would be more ideal but yes, given the depth in midfield I would be fine with McKennie/Musah at RWB.

Your criticism of Shaq Moore is 1. Mean (You think it's funny but I think you're being a douche) 2. Misinformed 3. Only other RB we would take is going to the olympics. I rewatched the world cup, I think others should too of when Shaq Moore played. He actually wasn't the problem. He played okay. He's not Dest..we don't have another Dest. Defensively he's ok, going forward he struggles. His strength is his 1 on 1 defending, because he has the pace to keep from getting beat to the end line. I don't think Moore will play, I think Berhalter has a ton of options to play wingback or right back. He can use Weah, Musah, McKennie or Tyler Adams and Cardoso as the 6 depending on how he sets up. Shaq Moore isn't our first or second option..he's a break glass in case of emergency.

A lot of people don't realize that during short tournaments, every single player in the roster is extremely important. Most likely every single player will see some playing time, cause you need to rest players for more demanding games or accumulation of cards. Honestly, I still see the MLS agenda written all over this roster, but I'm not surprised at all... 🤷

[@r2dad282]

Nobody is talking about it, because anything involving race can be very divisive. But I wonder, since the Copa is primarily among Spanish-speaking teams, would there be any additional benefit (or drawback)including/playing Pepi, Vazquez, Zendejas, Ferreira, Paredes, Luna ? Is Johnny vulnerable to trash talking Brazilians? Yes, they're all professionals, but does a common language benefit or hurt US players? Is it just easier to be a gringo for this tournament?

[@r2dad282]

I'm of the opinion that Nats players that speak Spanish at the Copa have a little extra to give, a little extra incentive, when they hear that Spanish trash-talking that inevitably occurs.

[@Jtve737]

Yes, but they are trying to appeal to a larger audience via white Americans, mainly Anglo, which is English speaking

[@r2dad282]

@Jtve737 I'm not worried about that, mostly what's happening on the field. Even though matches will be 90 minutes away from my house, I'm not going. USSF/MLS/SUM won't price tickets to sell out so they will all be too expensive for families.
